I copied SuSEfirewall2-3.4-6.noarch.rpm off the DVD, ran "rpm -Uvh --force SuSEfirewall2-3.4-6.noarch.rpm", and rebooted. Nothing changed as far as I could tell.

Done, but I copied the old one before reinstalling the rpm, and the "new" file is identical. Is there some way that a hardware problem could be causeing masquerade to choke under one OS but not another? This computer was inside a house that had a fire with major smoke damage, and I had to replace the CDROM, the CDRW (now a DVD burner), and the 3.5" floppy drive (and I tossed a 5.25" floppy drive). I replaced the external serial port modem as well. Come to think of it, I replaced the replacement for the CDROM, too. The USB card reader has always worked fine under SuSE 8.2, but after the fire, I installed 9.3, and the card reader didn't work at all under 9.3 until I removed the CDRW. I recently installed 10.0 as well. The card reader has been flakey under 9.3 and 10.0, but I noticed that the floppy was appearing on "My Computer" even though the drive was empty, so I disabled it in the BIOS, and now the card reader seems to work under 10.0 (but still not 9.3). Is there any way that a hardware problem could cause udev under 10.0 (but not 9.3) to have problems with masquerading over the modem through a serial port? Alternately, is there any basis for suspecting that differences in IPv6 between 9.3 and 10.0 (or my amateurish configuration thereof) could cause masquerading to fail? "grep -i ipv6 /etc/sysconfig/network/config" comes up empty under 10.0, but under 9.3 I get: USE_IPV6=yes I'm puzzled that there are no quotation marks around the yes. Under both 9.3 and 10.0, in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2, I find FW_IPv6="" FW_IPv6_REJECT_OUTGOING="" Under both 9.3 and 10.0, in /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager, I find KDE_USE_IPV6="yes" Thank you, Peter Taylor
